1.
My bones are made of wood so burn me down

2.
I can’t believe she made me ask her father’s approval
I was furious until I rang his doorbell
There was so much more of her to fall in love with
I met the old dog she always talked about
And I saw the rose bush she planted as a kid
I saw her voice in his livingroom

3.
You looked like crap, but I said you looked beautiful anyway

4.
For whatever reason, humans built cities and monuments and churches
People were doing all of this building and we were doing all of this running away

5.
Wrap yourself around me
Make me brand new
And unravel what you have created

6.
I am screaming, “choose me instead” but you aren’t here to listen
This is a brick wall that you aren’t on the other side of
You fell in love with someone else again

7.
I want to slow this down so you last forever
Your chest like the ocean I grew up next to
Your fingertips made constellations on my arms
You made infinite feel real
This is like breathing for the first time
